FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of weather?
These shoes are specifically designed for wet weather conditions due to their GORE-TEX waterproofing. While they can be worn in dry conditions, they may be warmer than non-waterproof alternatives. They are not ideal for extreme heat.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of running socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for your toes to splay naturally and that the heel is secure without slipping.
What is the difference between this and the standard Pegasus 41?
The primary difference is the GORE-TEX waterproof upper on this version, making it ideal for wet conditions. The standard Pegasus 41 offers enhanced breathability for drier weather.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is durable and designed for the lifespan of the shoe under normal running conditions. Proper care and cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the GORE-TEX upper and responsive cushioning make them suitable for light to moderate trail running, especially in wet or muddy conditions. However, they do not have aggressive lugs for highly technical terrain.
Do the reflective details wear off easily?
The reflective details are integrated into the design for visibility. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaning, they should remain effective for a long time.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe's tongue and laces are properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Excessive sweat can also contribute to dampness; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The cushioning is designed to be responsive. If it feels significantly diminished, check for any debris trapped in the sole or midsole area. Ensure the shoe is the correct size to allow for proper foot movement and foam compression.
Reflective details peeling off
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If peeling occurs, it may be due to excessive friction or harsh cleaning agents. Gently try to re-adhere if possible or contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX requires no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is designed for immediate use out of the box.
Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with standard running socks. While designed for wet weather, they are best suited for running activities. They are not intended for casual wear in very hot conditions where breathability is paramount.
Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
